Just Ordered New Speakers
So today May 27, 2017 I saw and heard the Triton Reference up-close-and-personal. Elegant and awesome are just some of the accolades I can think of! They dwarf the Triton One from a physical perspective. You can see that in the photos I've posted ...

Cassette Deck??
@otherone I sent you a PM with my website address. You can find my contact data there if you wish to potentially "trade" or communicate off-board regarding Grateful Dead.  
Cassette Deck??
@otherone+1While I don’t have quite as many tapes as you (I have 770), I’ve also abandoned cassettes years ago in favor of digital. FWIW, in terms of Grateful Dead, I now boast one of the largest private collections, more than 80% of which is in d... 
Trade in value to a dealer
I do have some first hand experience in this regard...Generally speaking an authorized dealer for any particular manufacturer can discount the MSRP of a brand new item by no more than 20% (and sell as new for MSRP-20%).If you then wish to sell an ...
